In a bid to further enhance his game, Carlos Alcaraz, the rising star of tennis, has made a subtle yet significant adjustment to his racket setup. According to reports, Alcaraz has added an extra five grams to his racket through a lead strap. This tweak is aimed at generating more speed and power, particularly in his forehand shots.

Alcaraz, who has been working diligently during his off-season training at his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero’s academy, is always looking for ways to improve his performance. The decision to add weight to his racket came after extensive testing with different rackets to find the best fit for his playing style. The additional weight is expected to help Alcaraz capitalize on his natural acceleration, thereby increasing the power and weight of his shots.

Samuel Lopez, a new addition to the Alcaraz camp, explained that the added weight would provide an extra boost in hitting power. With his quality of impact, a heavier racket would allow Alcaraz to take full advantage of the force generated when the ball comes to him.

As Alcaraz prepares for the upcoming Australian Open, fans and analysts alike are eager to see how this adjustment will translate on the court. With his relentless work ethic and continuous pursuit of improvement, Alcaraz is poised to make an even bigger impact in the world of tennis.
